Be Mine, Fred Weasley

Quidditch and Studies

Now that the supposed chamber has been opened and Mrs. Flitch has been petrified, teachers are more on edge this year.

But, unfortunately they are not the only ones that are on edge. Oliver has been going crazy with Quidditch practices this year. Slytherin has all new brooms and a new seeker, so we don't know what to expect with their new  team.

The first game of the season is only a few days away, and I'm as tired as ever. With the amount of homework I have and the stress of daily practices I have hardly any time to sleep. And above all this Fred seams to be avoiding me. I don't understand why, but it is starting to make me angry.

Finally the day has arrived the first game of the season. Flying through the masses of green and red I'm trying to make it to the goal without being knocked off my broom by one of the Slytherin members. As I make my way closer than ever to the goal I get knocked off course by Marcus Flint who then stole the Quaffle from me. I then notice that Fred and George had been hovering around Harry for quite awhile now and I realized why. Every time they hit the Bludger away form him, it would just turn back around and start chancing Harry again. Oliver called for a time out and the team gathered around him. Harry was asking the twins to stop worrying about him so that he may look for the Snitch. We all then regained formation and continued on with the game. It was rough to say the least, Oliver got knocked off his broom and Harry had a good chase around the field with Malfoy. But in the end, Harry after breaking his arm and being knocked off his broom was able to catch the Snitch. Although the game was over the Bludger that was chancing Harry made its way to the end of the field where Harry was sitting at and the Bludger was making a A-line dive for him. Hermione, being on the watch, was able to mumble a quick spell and the Bludger was blown to bits. Unfortunately, Lockhart tried fixing Harrys arm, but somehow, not that I was surprised he did so, managed to remove all the bones from Harrys arm. 

"Are you alright?" We were walking back from the field, back to the common room to celebrate the win, when Fred came up behind me.

"Yeah, I think I just have a huge bruise forming on my right side from where Flint hit me multiple times. What about you? You and George had a rough game." I say still avoiding eye contact with him.

"Yeah, just tired. But, look. I feel like I do this almost every other week, but I'm sorry for avoiding you. I just needed some space to think about some things. Forgive me?"

"Yeah, of course. I know the feeling." I say not sure exactly what he means, but who would I be if I didn't forgive him.

"Anyway, coming to the party"

"Not tonight. I have some homework to catch up on, so i'll be in the library."

"Oh, well. I'll see you tomorrow." says Fred.

"Bye." I say back now walking into the girls dorm. I change into jeans and jacket and make my way to the library.

I first look around for a book for potions and then look for a table. I see Cedric and make my way towards him. "Hey stranger." I say as I take my seat next to him.

"Hey yourself. What brings you down here? Shouldn't you be celebrating with the team?" He says.

"Should I. Yes. But, I'm just so backed up on homework, I just needed a night to study."

"Ah, well I'm doing the potions assignment."

"No way. That's what I need to do also!"

He laughs, "Well, lets do this together shall we."

So for the next few hours we catch up with each other and manage to get not only the potions essay done, but also next weeks assignments for Charms and Transfiguration.

"This is the most productive I have been all week. I think I can finally sleep tonight!" I say with a sigh of relief.

"Well I'm glad I was able to help. But, now that we are done with this can I ask ypu something?"

"Yeah. Go ahead."

"What do you think about the Chamber of Secrets? Real?"

I think for sometime, "I believe that it is. Slytherin gives off that vibe of something being off and a Secret Chamber fits that description well. But what about the monster inside? Do you think that is a real thing?"

"What else would petrify Mrs. Norris?" he says.

I think again. It does all fit, but what creature could get around the castle undecteded? "I don't know, wouldn't someone have found it by now?"

"True. Well I'm off to bed. got practice in the morning for our match against you in a few weeks. Want me to walk you to your floor?"

"No, I  am going to stay here awhile longer, catch up on some reading."

"Alright, see ya."

So for the next  hour or so I sit reading, when I look at the time I see that it is already Midnight. I gather my things and make my way towards the common room. While walking down a Hallway I notice spiders, and a lot of them crawling single file to a crack in the window. I try to see where they are going so I walk closer to the window.  I look into the window and see my reflection staring back at me, but then I notice movement to the left of my reflection. Wondering what it is I look to the left of my reflection and see...

Hey guys! Just a quick little bit from me! I'm so happy with my story right now and I really am enjoying writing for you guys!! But, I am having more and more trouble with getting stories/chapters out at least once every few days. SO. From here on out I will only be posting a new chapter once my story gets at least 10 votes. I know, I know. It is a lot to ask. But, I just want to see how many people are actually reading my story, otherwise I am thinking about no longer writing it. So thanks for all the support guys, KEEP READING! :)
